Description

La présente invention concerne les disposée tifs de réglage de la position angulaire d'un organe comportant un moyeu sur un arbre, notamment d'un volant de direction sur un arbre de direction d'un véhicule automobile, du type comportant une douille disposée entre le moyeu et l'arbre et solidaire en rotation de cet arbre, cette douille comportant sur sa surface extérieure des moyens d'accouplement avec le moyeu. The present invention relates to arrangements for adjusting the angular position of a member comprising a hub on a shaft, in particular a steering wheel on a steering shaft of a motor vehicle, of the type comprising a socket disposed between the hub and the shaft and integral in rotation with this shaft, this bushing comprising on its outer surface means for coupling with the hub.

On a décrit au brevet principal un dispositif de ce type, caractérisé en ce que les moyens d'accouplement sont constitués par un premier filetage destiné à coopérer avec un taraudage correspondant du moyeu pour permettre au moins un déplacement angulaire du moyeu et donc du volant par rapport à la douille et donc à l'arbre et en ce qu'il est prévu des moyens de blocage, en position de réglage désiré, du moyeu par rapport à la douille. Les moyens de blocage sont avantageusement constitués par un organe formant contre-écrou, visse sur la douille contre ledit moyeu. A device of this type has been described in the main patent, characterized in that the coupling means consist of a first thread intended to cooperate with a corresponding tapping of the hub to allow at least an angular displacement of the hub and therefore of the flywheel by relative to the bushing and therefore to the shaft and in that means are provided for locking, in the desired adjustment position, the hub with respect to the bushing. The locking means are advantageously constituted by a member forming a lock nut, which screws onto the bush against said hub.

Dans ce dispositif, l'arbre comporte une surface tronconique coopérant avec une surface complémentaire du moyeu et une extrémité filetée sur laquelle est vissé un organe de serrage de ladite surface complémentaire du moyeu sur la surface tronconique de l'arbre, ledit organe de serrage étant en appui par l'intermédiaire d'une rondelle sur ladite douille. In this device, the shaft has a frustoconical surface cooperating with a complementary surface of the hub and a threaded end on which is screwed a member for clamping said complementary surface of the hub on the frustoconical surface of the shaft, said clamping member being in support by means of a washer on said sleeve.

La présente addition a pour but de fournir un mode de réalisation différent du dispositif décrit au brevet principal. The purpose of this addition is to provide a different embodiment of the device described in the main patent.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de réglage tel que défini précédemment, dans lequel l'arbre comporte une surface tronconique coopérant avec une surface complémentaire du moyeu et une extrémité filetée sur laquelle est vissé un organe de serrage de ladite surface complémentaire du moyeu sur la surf-ace tronconique de l'arbre, caractérisé en ce que ledit organe de serrage est en appui sur ledit organe formant contre-écrou. To this end, the subject of the invention is an adjustment device as defined above, in which the shaft has a frustoconical surface cooperating with a surface complementary to the hub and a threaded end on which is screwed a member for clamping said surface. complementary to the hub on the frustoconical surf-ace of the shaft, characterized in that said clamping member is supported on said member forming a lock nut.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant au dessin annexé, qui représente une vue en partie en coupe d'un, dispositif de réglage selon l'invention. The invention will be better understood with the aid of the description which follows, given solely by way of example and made with reference to the appended drawing, which represents a view in part in section of an adjustment device according to the invention. 'invention.

Ainsi qu'on peut le voir sur cette figure, un arbre de direction 1 notamment de véhicule automobile comporte une surface tronconique 2 coopérant avec une surface complémentaire 3 d'un moyeu 4 d'un volant de direction. As can be seen in this figure, a steering shaft 1 in particular of a motor vehicle has a frustoconical surface 2 cooperating with a complementary surface 3 of a hub 4 of a steering wheel.

Avantageusement, la surface complémentaire du moyeu, destinée à coopérer avec la surface tronconique de l'arbre, est constituée par la paroi intérieure d'une bague 4a fixée dans le moyeu 4, par exemple par sertissage. La surface tronconique de l'arbre se prolonge par une portion 5 comportant de manière connue des cannelures régulièrement réparties sur l'arbre.L'extrémité 6 de l'arbre de direction est filetée et présente un écrou 7 permettant de fixer le volant sur l'arbre de direction. Advantageously, the complementary surface of the hub, intended to cooperate with the frustoconical surface of the shaft, consists of the inner wall of a ring 4a fixed in the hub 4, for example by crimping. The frustoconical surface of the shaft is extended by a portion 5 comprising, in a known manner, grooves regularly distributed over the shaft. The end 6 of the steering shaft is threaded and has a nut 7 enabling the flywheel to be fixed on the 'steering shaft.

Entre le moyeu 4 du volant et l'arbre de direction 1 et plus particulièrement la portion 5 comportant les cannelures de celui-ci, est interposée une douille 9 solidaire en rotation de l'arbre 1 par l'intermédiaire par exemple de formes complémentaires -aux cannelures de la portion 5 d'arbre. Sur sa surface extérieure, la douille 9 comporte des moyens d'accouplement avec le moyeu. Ces moyens d'accouple ment sont avantageusement constitués par un premier filetage 10 coopérant avec un taraudage correspondant du moyeu 4 pour permettre au moins un déplacement angulaire du moyeu et donc du volant par rapport à la douille et donc à l'arbre, lors d'une opération de réglage. Des moyens de blocage 11, en position de réglage désiré du moyeu par rapport à la douille, sont également disposés sur cette douille 9.Ces moyens de blocage sont avantageusement constitués par un organe formant contre-écrou vissé sur la douille et venant en appui contre le moyeu 4. A cet effet, la surface extérieure de la douille comporte par exemple un second filetage 12, séparé du premier, 10, par exemple par une gorge 13 et sur lequel est vissé ledit organe formant contre-écrou 11. il est à noter que l'organe de serrage 7 est en appui sur une première surface d'appui 11a formée à l'une des extrémités de l'organe formant contre-écrou, afin de transmettre une action de serrage à la douille et au moyeu du volant-pour fixer celui-ci sur l'arbre. Cet organe formant contre-écrou se présente avantageusement sous la forme d'un manchon taraudé intérieurement comportant à l'une de ses extrémités, et ainsi qu'il a été mentionné précédemment, la première surface d'appui 11a destinée à coopérer avec ledit organe de serrage et à l'autre de ses extrémités une seconde surface d'appui 11b desti née à coopérer avec le moyeu 4. Between the hub 4 of the steering wheel and the steering shaft 1 and more particularly the portion 5 comprising the grooves thereof, is interposed a sleeve 9 integral in rotation with the shaft 1 by means, for example of complementary shapes - to the grooves of the shaft portion 5. On its outer surface, the sleeve 9 includes coupling means with the hub. These coupling means are advantageously constituted by a first thread 10 cooperating with a corresponding thread of the hub 4 to allow at least an angular displacement of the hub and therefore of the flywheel relative to the bushing and therefore to the shaft, during an adjustment operation. Locking means 11, in the desired adjustment position of the hub with respect to the bush, are also arranged on this bush 9. These blocking means are advantageously constituted by a member forming a lock nut screwed onto the bush and coming to bear against the hub 4. For this purpose, the external surface of the sleeve comprises for example a second thread 12, separated from the first, 10, for example by a groove 13 and on which said member forming a lock nut 11 is screwed. note that the clamping member 7 is supported on a first bearing surface 11a formed at one end of the member forming a lock nut, in order to transmit a clamping action to the socket and to the hub of the flywheel -to fix it on the tree. This member forming a lock nut advantageously takes the form of an internally threaded sleeve comprising at one of its ends, and as has been mentioned previously, the first bearing surface 11a intended to cooperate with said member clamping and at the other of its ends a second bearing surface 11b intended to cooperate with the hub 4.

L'opération de réglage étant analogue à celle décrite au brevet principal, on ne la reprendra pas en détail.  The adjustment operation being analogous to that described in the main patent, it will not be repeated in detail.
